…. “Isolated on Madagascar with only a limited number of mammalian competitors, the lemurs did not have to compete with other evolving arboreal mammalian groups, such as squirrels. They were also spared from having to compete with monkeys, which evolved later. The intelligence, aggression, and deceptiveness of monkeys gave them an advantage over other primates in exploiting the environment.“…

at least: “The intelligence, aggression, and deceptiveness of monkeys gave them an advantage over other primates in exploiting the environment.”

so let´s exploite !

I am proud and happy that I had the chance to build my interfaces on that frontline technologie.

Touchscreen is defintely on mass market now… and there are already good tools to build controls nearly like a Lemur = TouchOSC. but till now, there is a big difference in control possibilities, not only the “ethernet vs wifi connection” discussion.. at the moment TochOSC misses some functions, that I love on my Lemur.. and would not like to miss:

controllable physics

easy direct midi/OSC mapping

a “range” object

a programmable light function – independent from status “on/off” (!)

programmable movements of objects and containers

however, TouchOSC and other will develop…they have just begun. and this is good news!

I am more interested in these “sandbox controllers” for touchscreens, where you can build your own interfac, but “out of the box”, to plug and play – already got some nice apps:

And the Lemur is now part of history… well mainley, they will exist for a few more years, cause JM quaranty that they will keep Jazzeditor and Jazzdaemon updated with latest OS till 2011…. but as you need communication with hardware – hardly depending on OS -Lemur controllers will vansih with new OS from 2012 on…
